"New Individual" - Adding fields to "Contact Details"....
May 16, 2011, 02:55:27 am
G'Day,

I would like to add an additional field to the "Contact Details" group. Is the only way to create a profile screen that is a copy of the default new contact screen? I don't want to add a whole new fieldset.

All pointers greatly appreciated.

Yes, I was thinking of this too. Mainly to be able to add a plain text field for additional suffixes. I have a number of people with lots of accreditations after their names, not just one to choose from via a pop up menu, but multiple. And frankly it only makes sense for me to add them in a text field vs. trying to catalog them all before hand.

I may just add a new Custom Data set, on the profile page I can make the fields display in the logical order.

Bairnsfather :

You can create a custom data with Display Style Tab which will allow you to enter multiple contacts as well.
